Cartographic Production Control

Abstract

The production of large series of maps at many different scales, for both official and private use, constitutes a major task in production control. This is examined in relation to the Divisions primarily involved; Large Scales, Small Scales; and Publication. Each Division has a Control Section which deals wiih the planning of flow lines, programme integration, and product supervision. These Sections are placed between management and production, and play an important role in providing the information needed for management decisions and applying such decisions to actual production.

The paper was given at the Symposium of the British Cartographic Society, Newcastle upon Tyne, September 1967.
